Dear fans of Scala & Kolacny Brothers,

it's been a long time since you have heard from us, but as you will see Scala did not rest on its laurels. So, there are many activities and projects we want to inform you about.

1.   Scala is preparing a new album. The first recording sessions are planned on 5th and 6th December. The title of the album, the exact date of release and many linked projects are not known yet, but you may expect the release about mid 2010. One thing is for sure: Scala's roots will be revisited, with arrangements and covers of well-known rock & pop songs of international bands, sung by magnificent voices and accompanied only by Steven's piano. Stay tuned!

2.   As from December, several new songs will be on our concert playlist, e.g. in Berlin (at the Kesselhaus on 11th and 12th December) and in Belgium, in Antwerp (at the Koningin Elisabeth-zaal, on 5th March 2010). These new songs will be evaluated in terms of audience appreciation.

3.   We are very pleased to announce that Scala will give more concerts abroad in 2010. Scala will perform several times in Germany (as usual). Touring in Canada, performing in France again, our début in Denmark, Sweden and the Netherlands, all of these projects are practically finalized. So stay up-to-date via Scala's Concerts web page where you will also be able to buy tickets.

4.   Each year, we offer a special Christmas opportunity to our fans. This year you are given the opprtunity to buy one of the 80 very last DeLuxe Paper Plane albums left in our stocks. Each of them will be autographed by the Kolacny Brothers, Steven and Stijn. The albums will be available via the Scalashop. Don't miss this opportunity for this DeLuxe edition will no longer be available.

5.   Our second exclusive present is a new song of Scala, fully free downloadable (just like our Paper Plane songs!). Within the framework of a benefit event for the Flemish Refugee Action, Scala has made a special arrangement of a song called België (Belgium). Three refugee girls, Petimat, Daniella and Vesara, sang with Scala and so made their dream come true. The three of them fled their country and are working hard to achieve a safe future in Belgium. Support the Flemish Refugee Action and download the song for free on www.vluchtelingenwerk.be.

You will be able to see Petimat, Daniella and Vesara perform with Scala on 8th December at the NTG in Ghent (Belgium), at a benefit evening for the Flemish Refugee Action, where artist performances will alternate with interviews. Tickets are available on www.vluchtelingenwerk.be/benefiet.

As a matter of fact, we mainly hope you will remain faithful fans of Scala!

We really look forward to meeting you at one of Scala's coming concerts.

Kind regards,

Steven and Stijn Kolacny

La Grande Sophie, a very successful French singer songwriter, has been a great fan of Scala & Kolacny Brothers for several years. For her performance at the Olympia (the oldest concert hall in Paris - 1888) on 17th November, together with Steven Kolacny she will arrange some of her songs that she will sing with the Scala girls.
To Scala this project means a magnificent musical come-back in France’s capital city, on one of the most prestigious stages in the world.

Dear fans of Scala,

On the 21st and 22nd July Scala was very pleased and honoured to perform as guest of honour at the Montreal ‘Juste pour Rire’ city festival in Canada.
The show was named the Wall of Sound. This multimedia show could not have been named more appropriately. See for yourself: http://www.vimeo.com/6073376.

The ‘Wall of Sound - Scala’ production was also awarded the "Prix Coup de coeur du grand public La Presse 2009", a kind of public’s favourite prize of the festival. This prize is particularly important since it is awarded by all he people attending the festival to one production among all the performances.
This award acknowledges the outstanding work of the 300 artists and engineers involved in this show.

Montréal was seduced by the show as a whole and by Scala’s voices. Here are some quotes from articles published in the Québec press the day after the concert.

- ... ”Thanks to its talent and communicative energy, wherever the choir performs, in Brussels, in Berlin or in New York, each show proves a moment of pure magic where spectators and chorists sing their love for music in unison.” (Source: www.infoculture.ca)

- “In three dimensions and five floors high, Scala proved to be much more than nice female voices singing rock songs. In 3D Scala means goose bumps, tears, amazement, umbrellas, rain-stained scores and wet hair.”

“If we had such choirs in our churches, I ‘d go to Mass every Sunday morning!”

(Source: Soundbeat Magazine)

Keep enjoying Scala’s music !

Kind regards,

The Scala & Kolacny Brothers team

JUST TO SING
PROJECT SCALA: THE WALL OF SOUND
 

Tuesday, July 21 and Wednesday, July 22 at dusk – Place des festivals
On the evenings of July 21 and July 22, the stars in the sky over Montreal will hold their breath when the young singers of the Belgian choir  Scala begin to sing. Founded in 1996 by Steven and Stijn Kolacny, Scala has conquered Europe and the world with its crystalclear voices, communicative energy and original choral settings of music by U2, Radiohead, Nirvana, Indochine, Alanis Morissette and other popular and rock classics in the same vein. From Brussels to Berlin, from New York to Budapest to Hamamatsu in Japan, Scala’s every performance is a moment of pure magic when the choristers and audience in unison share their love of music.
 

For the choir’s premiere appearance in Montreal, Just For Laughs has decided to do
things in grand style ... and very grand style indeed, with the additional participation of 250 choral singers from Quebec who will join their voices with the young singers from Flanders. Plus some very grand effects from the genius of designer and art director Olivier Dufour, who will turn this unique concert into an unforgettable pyro-musical multimedia show. So come on down, enjoy a new choral take on your pop and rock classics, warm up your voice, share your musical memories and talent ... and bring on the night.

In the Netherlands they are still a phenomenon, in Belgium a world act for years now. I am referring to the Scala & Kolacny Brothers choir from Aarschot, a small provincial town in Flanders, east of Louvain in Belgium.
Steven and Stijn Kolacny, respectivally the pianist and the choir leader, and both classically trained musicians, have managed to have their choir scoring several hits on radio stations thanks to their excellent arrangements of songs of Nirvana, Radiohead, Lamb and Rammstein. ‘Paper Plane’ is Scala’s eighth album but the first one exclusively with their very own songs. This slightly affects the choir’s recognizable sound but the atmosphere and the class have remained. Those who refuse to accept that a girl choir can sing pop songs would better stop reading here. Indeed, it requires some openness of mind to appreciate the beautifully written and produced songs combining a slight classical touch with a psychedelic or modern electronic make-over. Koen Buyse, the frontman of Zornik, himself got involved in this production. Something curious? Well, the atmosphere rather reminds me of Pink Floyd and The Polyphonic Spree and not at all of an old-fashioned choir in a parish church or dusty community centre. This is a top pop record! Would Lowlands dare to put Scala & Kolacny Brothers on their billboard?

(*) Lowlands is a huge festival organized each year near Amsterdam.

Great surprise for the fans of Scala ! Indeed, less than a month after the launch of Paper Plane, Scala & Kolacny Brothers is releasing a new album!
 

Immediately after the Paper Plane recording, the Scala choir girls went back into the Galaxy Studios to record ten covers of songs of Pierre Rapsat. The project which is called 'Dans les yeux d'Aurore' (*) is meant to be a tribute to this well-known Belgian French-speaking singer who died in 2002.
 

Like Paper Plane, this new album has been produced by Koen Buysse (Zornik - www.zornik.com) and the track list (see below) also includes 3 songs of the Paper Plane album.

It will be available exclusively at music shops in Belgium, at the merchandising stand at our concerts but also at www.scalashop.de, Scala’s official webshop. Paper Plane is still downloadable and will remain so until further notice.

Scala choir girls go naked for Pim Smit’s bodypaint project

Dear fans of Scala,
A few weeks ago the Scala choir girls were colour-sprayed by Pim Smit, a Dutch painter from Amsterdam who lives in Tirlemont (Belgium).
Footage of this huge bodypaint project was used to make the video clip (produced by Jan Vrints, directed by Senol Korkmaz) for Seashell, a new single from Scala’s brand new album Paper Plane. After the collective bodypaint session, a few Scala girls, who refused to be replaced by professional actresses or stand-ins, went naked and were painted from top to toe by artist Pim Smit.
 

As a fan of Scala, you will be among the first to be able to watch this clip on www.scalachoir.com. TV reports about the bodypainting project and the making of the clip can be watched on www.pimsmit.com.
Our newest album Paper Plane is on sale now in most of the record shops in Flanders, and is still downloadable free through Scala’s website. Scala fans keep downloading it but also buy it. Our thanks to you all, and hope you will continue to enjoy our music.

Dear fans of Scala & Kolacny Brothers,

the 10 songs of Scala's new album Paper Plane will all be downloadable free as from 11th September and until further notice. Click here for the downloads or if you want more information.

This present is for our true fans all over the world to allow them to listen to our brand new album.

We hope that you will like our new songs and can't wait to read your comments. Enjoy Paper Plane! See you at one of our next concerts!

Kind regards,

The Scala & Kolacny Brothers team

Artist Pim Smit and the Kolacny Brothers are going to work out a very peculiar project that will climax on 6th September in Tirlemont in Belgium.
 

The full Scala choir will lie down on the floor of Pim’s studio to become part of the world’s biggest bodypaint project ever.
 

In 1 session at least 150 Scala girls are going to be bodypainted into one big living artwork.

This project has been registered with the Guiness Book of Records. This event will of course be attended by an official delegation of Guinness Book of Records Ltd.

Dear fans of Scala,

Nothing is what it seems to be. Indeed, Scala has traded the seeming quietness for the recording studios where it is working at its new album ‘Paper Plane’.

‘Paper Plane’ stands for the light, pure and diaphanous angel voices soaring above Scala’s audience like a paper plane. The lead track itself expresses unconditional faith in life and love.

Scala is evolving ... All the songs for Paper Plane have been written by Steven Kolacny. So the album will feature Scala’s own songs only and no longer covers.
Taking this seemingly obvious step was not easy since Scala is known for its arrangements and covers of international rock and pop hits.
‘Paper Plane’ provides a new dimension to the Scala concept and allows the choir to make a long step forward.

As a matter of fact we hope you will welcome this evolution and go on supporting Scala as you dif before.

‘Paper Plane’ will be released on 1st October 2008. More information will be provided in the following weeks, including the dates of all the Scala concerts.

Tracklisting (not final)

CD A
1° Paper Plane
2° Raintears
3° It Never Will Come Back
4° Seashell
5° Kleine Man (Little Man)
6° Magic
7° Splinter
8° I Will Bleed For You
9° Woorden (Words)

This Gold Record is presented to Scala for selling more than 15,000 "It All Leads To This" albums in Belgium.

Dear fans of Scala,
namedropping very seldom happens on our own web site, but since the compliment below comes from the Best Band On Earth, we could not but share this information with you all.
Interview in HUMO - 3510/50 (11.12.07): Jonny Greenwood's (Radiohead) reply when asked what he thinks of Scala's version of "Everything In Its Right Place" (It All Leads To This album):

"I do have a CD of Scala at home, but I've never heard this cover before. Very tasteful, orginally performed, it's even moving. Congratulations to the Scala girls!"

Dear fans of Scala, organizers of concerts, events and festivals,

Scala & Kolacny Brothers are currently looking for extra dates that should fit in a tour in Germany during the summer of 2008.
More specifically, we are looking for performance opportunitites on 7th, 8th or 9th July 2008.
Proposals to perform in Germany on other dates will have priority during the whole summer period.

Scala invited by José Carreras !

José Carreras (one of the three world-famous tenors with Pavarotti and Placido Domingo) has been seduced by Scala, the Flemish girl choir of the Kolacny brothers.
Carreras has his own show on the German ARD TV chain, viz. the „José Carreras Gala“. Scala will perform live on 13th December (broadcast from Leipzig). José Carreras has asked Scala to sing one the songs from their latest album (produced by EMI Germany) “One-Winged Angel” but this time with the 80 musicians of a symphony orchestra. Besides, on request of Carreras’ management, the Scala choir girls will sing another song together with the tenor himself.

The José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation

In 1987, the Spanish tenor José Carreras was told to have leukaemia. Thanks to medical progress he recovered from this disease. The support of family and friends helped him through this difficult time.  Carreras felt there was a debt to be paid and he created the José Carreras International Leukaemia Foundation, the head office of which is in Barcelona (Spain). Later on, two more foundations were created in the USA and Switzerland. In 1995, Carreras founded the German José Carreras Leukamie-Stiftung e.V. with head office in Munich. The Foundations all have a social purpose which Carreras states as follows: “Leukaemia must be curable, always and with everyone.”

Gala

MDR will broadcast this benefit concert live from the Messehalle 1 in Leipzig on the German ARD tv channel. Besides top guest José Carreras, Axel Bulthaupt, a well-known German presentator, will lead the public through the show. Public and artists may expect a varied programme with patients’ emotional testimonies, world stars and distinguished guests. Katie Melua and Herbert Grönemeyer have already confirmed that they will perform.

Dear fans of Scala & Kolacny Brothers,

we are only four days away from Friday 23rd March 2007, the day on which Scala's new album „One-Winged Angel“ will be released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland.

„One-Winged Angel“ is the first album which Scala & Kolacny Brothers is releasing with its new label Virgin Music Germany.  Depeche Mode, Placebo and Kylie Minogue are just a few names among the 14 songs on the CD. You will find the full track list on this page…, and will be able to listen to all the titles.

The album will be available in all record shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland as from 23rd March. You can also get it from internet shops such as Amazon, and at the Scala shop of course.

Dear fans of Scala,

Due to the recording sessions for our new international album (to be released throughout Europe in March 2007) Scala & Kolacny Brothers unfortunately have to postpone their concert In Luxemburg planned on 15th November. We apologize for this and will inform you of the new date on our web site.

New dates for the Scala concerts in the next months will soon be published.
We can already tell you that Scala & Kolacny Brothers will perform at the ClassX concert instead of Toots Thielemans.
Date: 29th November 2006 - Venue:'Elisabethzaal' in Antwerp. For tickets and more info, check Concerts on our web site.

The Scala girls and the Kolacny brothers performed at the 0110 concerts in Antwerp, not against something or someone but FOR someone. They dedicated their miniconcert to Luna and her au-pair friend, two girls whose life was abruptly stopped by an ideology of some kind, who will never be able to enjoy anymore the opportunities of life which the Scala girls will have. After the concert, Steven Kolacny talked with Luna's grandmother and aunt. These 0110 concerts were more than a noble and meaningful initiative.

We have noticed that our very favourite percussionist David Demeyere has not been mentioned in the credits in the booklet of our new CD.
 

This certainly will be corrected in future editions and we are apologizing to David who is the man behind the warm bass in 'Gorecki' and 'Station Approach'.
 

After all ... It All Leads To David!
